What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

• An insulator allows electricity to flow through it easily and a conductor does not
• A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily and an insulator does not.
• An insulator is magnetic and a conductor is not
• A conductor is magnetic and an insulator is not

Static electricity is the buildup of charges between two objects. What best explains why a balloon is attracted to hair when the two have been rubbed together?

• The balloon and hair both have positive charges

• The balloon and the hair both have negative charges

• The balloon and the hair both have neutral charges

• The balloon and the hair both have opposite charges

The plastic covering on wires is there to:

• Provide a conductor for electrical energy to flow.
• Provide an insulator so that electrical energy will not pass outside of the wires.
• Provide a conductor so that electrical energy can NOT flow.
• Provide an insulator so that electrical energy can flow.

The metal copper inside the wire is there to:

• Provide a conductor for energy to flow from one place to another.
• Provide an insulator for energy to flow from one place to another.
• Provide an insulator to slow the flow of energy.
• Provide a conductor so slow the flow of energy.

• attract

• do nothing
